Twins - The Unforeseen Legacy of My Ex's Uncle-in-Law novel Chapter 350

Drusilla looked at her father, Leander, with a mixture of exasperation and disbelief. "Dad, it's impossible. What could he possibly be deceiving me about? I'm a woman who's been through a divorce, and he's Mr. Taylor of the prestigious Taylor family. How could he be deceiving me?"

"He's deceiving you, all right! He's tricking you into taking care of him for the rest of your life! That's what men do. He's probably scared he won't find anyone else to marry him."

"That's not true," Drusilla insisted, her voice firm yet tinged with a hint of hope. "Even if there are women out there like Odette, who despise him for being in a wheelchair, he's getting better. He's already standing up on his own. Once he's fully recovered, with everything he has to offer, women will be lining up for him. He has no reason to deceive me."

Leander was unconvinced. "No, I'm still worried. The longer you're entangled with him, the worse your reputation will become."

"Dad!" Drusilla's voice rose in frustration. "I came back today to visit, not to stay. I have to go back to the Taylor estate. The kids are still there!"

"Then bring the kids back here," Leander suggested, his tone reflecting his concern. "You never should have taken them to the Taylor estate in the first place."

He was unaware of the full story.

And he certainly didn't know that the two children were Enoch's.

Drusilla tried a different approach. "Don't you want to see Colton and Cormac?"

At this, Leander frowned, his reaction causing Drusilla's heart to sink. "You still believe I cheated, and that's why I had them, don't you? That you hold some kind of grudge against them?"

She had hoped, more than anything, that her children would be loved by their grandfather.

But it seemed that was too much to ask for.

Leander demanded clarification. "Then tell me, what exactly is going on between you and Harlan?"

Without her explanation, he could only assume the worst—that she had indeed committed a disgraceful act.

Over the years, because of Drusilla, her father had undoubtedly endured countless tirades from Saskia.

But what had her father done to deserve this?

He conducted his business, made his money, and had helped the Stanton family when they were struggling. And after Drusilla's divorce from Harlan, the Stanton family showed no gratitude, berating Leander for not raising his daughter properly.

Hestia attempted to defuse the situation. "Leander's resting. He's not been well. What seems to be the problem?"

She had a hunch it was about Drusilla.

Seeing Saskia storm in, Hestia felt a twisted sense of relief.

Drusilla was only ever docile in front of her father. Perhaps it was time for Saskia, that harpy, to put Drusilla in her place and show her the trouble she'd brought back to her family's doorstep.
